‘Simply Not True’

12th March 2022

The Other McCain does some fisking.

When I first noticed him using this “my word as a Biden” phrase during the 2020 campaign, I was puzzled. Has the Biden family been so prominently associated with honesty that when Joe says this, most Americans say, “Well, that settles it”? Of course not. In fact, Biden’s first presidential campaign, in 1988, collapsed in disgrace specifically because of Joe’s dishonesty, when he was caught plagiarizing others — most notably British Labour leader Ne0l Kinnock — in his speeches.

When Pigs Fly: Congress Inserts Over 4,000 Pork Earmarks In Spending Bill

11th March 2022

Read it.

For years, Congress has dispensed with the pretense of informed legislative process when it comes to major bills and appropriations.

The new $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill, however, took the notion of blind legislating to a disgraceful degree. Democratic leadership dumped the almost 3,000 page bill on the members (and the public) on Wednesday with only a couple days to review the massive spending.

That includes over 4,000 pork projects in earmarks.

China Is Incentivizing R&D Investment. Why Is America Going in the Opposite Direction?

How Low Can the Teachers’ Unions Sink?

11th March 2022

John Hinderker at Power Line.

Education Minnesota, the NEA branch that runs Minnesota’s public schools, has been making war on the state’s children for the last two years. In 2020 the teachers’ union demanded that the schools be shut down, and in a Democratic administration, what the union demands, it gets. The result, when test results came in at the end of the 2021 school year, was a catastrophic collapse in student performance.

That was bad enough. But, now that the schools are finally back in session, the Minneapolis union still doesn’t want to work. It has gone on strike, shutting down the schools once again. The context for the strike is grim: Minneapolis’s public schools are almost unbelievably bad, despite spending enormous amounts of money.

America’s Ruling Class Wants to Reduce Us to Incompetence

11th March 2022

Read it.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul blamed the recent shooting death of Jason Rivera, a New York City police officer, on “a shot from an illegal gun.”

In this strange passive voice, the Democratic governor didn’t mention the officer by name, but concluded that the true threat facing New York City was “the scourge of illegal guns on our streets.”

By refusing to state that an actual person acted viciously and illegally in killing a police officer, Hochul asked us to believe in a lie.

Guns pull their own triggers, SUVs plow into crowds on their own initiative … I tell you, it’s brutal out there.

Congress Weighs Permanent Daylight Saving Time in a Debate as Regular as Clockwork

(b) What business is it of Congress what the time is? I don’t see that anywhere in the Constitution.

You Be the Judge

9th March 2022

Steve Sailer.

Back in the days when a proper meal for a Supreme Court justice was a steak, a baked potato, a couple of shots of bourbon, and a cigar, nominees to this lifetime job weren’t expected to last all that long. For instance, Harry Truman’s four picks spent an average of only eleven years on the highest court.

But over time the stakes have been elevated to Battle of Stalingrad proportions due to a combination of a more activist judiciary and extended lifespans. The seven justices selected by Reagan, the elder Bush, and Clinton averaged 27 years, with Clarence Thomas still ticking.

The Supreme Court will likely decide upon the constitutionality of affirmative action at universities in 2023. But many would prefer that the existence of racial preferences not be even thought about when assessing the career qualifications of Joe Biden’s nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was chosen out of all the black women in the country. (No one else need apply.)

Walking the Progressive Walk

7th March 2022

Read it.

Alvin Bragg, the new district attorney for Manhattan, promised to pursue a radical vision of criminal justice. In his campaign he vowed to adopt a “presumption of non-incarceration” for pretrial detention, except in cases of rape or murder. His presumption that people should not go to prison was also applied to his philosophy of sentencing the guilty, except for convictions for rape, murder, or public corruption. Who needs public defenders when you’ve got the prosecutor doing their job?

The impact of the new DA’s plans didn’t hit New Yorkers until he was actually sworn in and began to implement his promises. With crime continuing to soar, there was a mild degree of outrage about Bragg’s intentions, though he had always been quite clear about his plans; it’s just that no one was paying attention, or they assumed he wasn’t serious.

The Homeless Industrial Complex

25th February 2022

A development to house the homeless in Los Angeles will cost $837,000 for a housing unit, Nellie Bowles notices in her Friday newsletter for the Bari Weiss “Common Sense” Substack. She writes:

How could they possibly spend that much on a single unit and think it’s good? Easy. California uses its homeless budget as a cash firehose, lining the pockets of untold numbers of contractors and employing every drama major who thinks nonprofits seem cool. It’s the Homeless Industrial Complex. The actual people sleeping on the streets—some 41,000 souls in Los Angeles—are beside the point.

The Case of the Migrating Vax

25th February 2022

It is now well-established that the spike protein factories created by the experimental mRNA treatment intended to mitigate the effects of infection with the Wuhan Coronavirus do not remain at the site where they are injected. It is not yet clear whether this is due to improperly administered injections — which might be entering blood vessels rather than remaining intramuscular — or if the migration occurs no matter whether the injection is intravenous or not.

A team of German pathologists asked BioNTech (Pfizer) for information about the components of the company’s “vaccine”. They didn’t get much of an answer to their questions, but there is some interesting analysis in the report below.

How Our Universities Became Sheep Factories

A joke about education in Soviet Russia:

– My wife has been going to cooking school for three years.
– She must really cook well by now!
– No, they’ve only reached the part about the Twentieth Communist Party Congress so far…

Maybe it’s not so much funny as telling; but what it is telling of is the hijacking of a non-political activity — cookery, but it may as well be biology or history or maths — for a political end.

The End of Empire

24th February 2022

ZMan looks at recent history.

At the end of the Cold War, the American empire was at the height of its global influence and power. The verdict of history was that it had the best economy, the best military and the best political culture. Thirty years on and no one looks at the American economic model with envy. China is viewed as having the best economy. While the military has amazing weaponry, its culture is looked upon as increasingly bizarre. Of course, the political culture has become coarse and unstable.

The sharp decline in the competence of the Global American Empire is where the decline is most evident. The place to start is the blunders in the Bush years, where they miscalculated at every step in the crusade against Islam. One can argue about whether they should have anticipated the 9/11 attacks, but the response was poorly conceived and poorly executed. Like a sports team that takes a far weaker opponent lightly, the empire survived the encounter with Islam. It did not win.

The Obama years brought new failures. The administration started with the goal of resetting relations with Russia, which had been soured by the behavior of the Bush administration in the Russo-Georgian war. They sent Hillary Clinton to cackle with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The Obama administration ended with Hillary Clinton’s election team manufacturing a smear campaign and conspiracy theory around the now famous Russian collusion hoax.

A Rape Survivor Gave Police Her DNA. They Linked Her to Another Crime

24th February 2022

Read it.

In 2016, a rape survivor voluntarily provided her DNA to San Francisco law enforcement officers so that her attacker might be brought to justice. Five years later, the sample she provided led police to connect her to an unrelated burglary, according to San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin. The woman faced a felony property charge, but Boudin dropped the case, saying the use of her DNA was a violation of her Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures.

No, it isn’t. She voluntarily gave up the sample, which is in law the same as consenting to a search. Boudin is just looking for excuses to let criminals off in cases where it will make him look good. (I doubt that the victims of the burglary were consulted. Nobody cares about the victims unless they belong to a Fashionable Minority.)

What Don’t the Bureaucrats Want You to Know?
